APP Store broken

[Davirus]

All my experience with snow leopard went amazing until I updated to 10.6.8.

 

Since then (2 month ago) I have been trying to fix this my self and don't be exposed to some moron here tell me "google it", but I just can't find the solution (and yes I did "google it", THANKS).

 

The problem:

 

Each time I try to login into my account on App Store I get this message:

"Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."

 

What I have tried until now:

 

· Deleting the NetworkInterfaces.plist

· I installed my LAN Card driver to have en0 on ethernet (wireless is now en1)

· Updating chameleon bootlaoder using chameleon wizard.

· Adding "EthernetBuiltIn=yes" and "PCIRootUID=1" to "org.chameleon.Boot.plist"

· Running the App Store in both, 32 and 64 bits

· Autorize the computer using iTunes

· Change my password

· Try to download a free app (did't work since it fail to login)

 

So, I ran out of ideas.

Had the same issue, here's what i did:

 

EFIStudio, to get graphics, hdef, and ethernet strings, apply, and copy the string.

 

Open /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist and past the string there, example:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</string>

</plist>

 

The string ,is a single sentence of chars, no returns or newlines.

Also, don't try copying my boot.plist to your system, it probably won't work

 

Then, i deleted NetworkInterfaces.plist, and rebooted. Worked for me...

[Davirus]

Nope, it did't worked for me.

 

Here is my plist using the instructions you gave me:

Afte adding the ethernet EFI String, I did deleted the "NetworkInterfaces.plist" and restarted my computer, but nothing happened.

 

NOTE: The GMA 950 String was there before adding the ethernet EFI String.

[MaLd0n]

apply LAN0 into device

Device (LAN0)
			{
				Name (_ADR, Zero)
				Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
				{
					Store (Package (0x04)
						{
							"built-in", 
							Buffer (One)
							{
								0x01
							}, 

							"location", 
							Buffer (0x02)
							{
								"1"
							}
						}, Local0)
					DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
					Return (Local0)
				}
			}

[Davirus]

Nope MaLd0n, it did't work either. Not sure if there is something Im doing wrong Im just cursed about this.

 

The error message is exactly the same, no changes.

 

Here are some screen captures of the actual configuration (DSDT and Network).

 

 

[Davirus]

Well, I have tryied until now the next:

 

· I added the SMBIOS information since people on the forum said the App Store fails to detect the system, it did not worked.

 

· I added "system type = 2" on the "org.chameleon.Boot.plist", it did not worked.

 

· I added a EFI string using EFI Studio, it did not worked.

 

· I have working my internal LAN Card but for some reason it is not detected as "built in".

 

· I have added the "built in" on the on the "org.chameleon.Boot.plist", it did not worked.

 

· I have deleted all my network devices an re-added them again, one per one, it did not worked.

 

· I added the device in the DSDT using the code provided before, it did not worked.

 

· I do have repeated those process on different orders, it did not worked.

 

· I did run Onyx to do a clean on caches, permissions and other stuff, it did not worked.

 

· I have the last chameleon boot loader version using "Chameleon Wizard"

 

 

I have ran out of ideas.

 

Any suggestion?
